It’s Top 3 Video time! The best of the Top 3 videos for May 14, 2016!
First up is a punk band from Stoke-on-Trent in England. “What’s a ‘Stoke-on-Trent’?” you say? Well, according to Wikipedia, it’s a city in Staffordshire, England with an area of 36 square miles. The band’s name is Peter118 and it is fronted by a gentleman named Peter James Field. This is their second time on our countdown.

#3) Peter118 – ‘Need You More’ ft. Lisa Cox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ABZpJF4dvs
At #2 is a band that has been getting weekly airplay on my FM radio show (that’s me at the far right) WTF? on InterFM 897. (Please come “Like” our FB page: https://www.facebook.com/WhattheFunday76.1/?fref=ts). The band is a trio from Melbourne, Australia and their name is “Lucy’s Crown.” Lucy’s Crown describes themselves as a Grunge/Alternative outfit and I think we’ll be seeing more of them on the countdown soon.

#2) Lucy’s Crown – Skinn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiqlwuWklxc
At #1 this week is a band from Dundee, Scotland that features five members who will enjoy their debut release in Japan on May 18, 2016. This is their 4th time on our Top 3 and the second time this year! They will be opening many shows for Placebo in 2016 so be on the lookout for them coming to a town near you. These guys are HOT! Seriously, The Mirror Trap could be the next big thing. Go check their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/themirrortrap/?fref=ts
